When my youngest granddaughter visited me, I asked her if she would pose for me and of course she said yes. She's very sweet and loves that I would want to paint her. I've painted her before but everyday she changes so its always a bit different! I used mostly soft Rembrandt pastels for this portrait.
Genial, es una delicia pasear tu blog Hilda!
